Derby County Football Club vs Middlesbrough

[Topram]

5-2-3 even

[DRS94]

Luke Thomas not even on the bench? Is he injured?

What does a Chelsea player need to do to get in the eleven

 

[Millenniumram]

Do you think we have enough defenders? Glad to see the system changed, that’s the sort of system I’d have recruited toward in the summer but we don’t have the players it seems currently. The mdifield looks unbalanced to me.

Also, one of Forsyth and Olsson is normally enough to make me wanna cry, with bloody both of them Gary is clearly trying to tip me over the edge!

[Gritstone Ram]

I reckon Gary has finally lost the plot. This is the self destruct button.

Play defensively 

[Parsnip]

Looks like we're hoping for damage limitation. Which makes me want to kill myself.

Well he is clearly changing formation - don't really see what else he can do. Not like he a lot of options personnel wise is it - on the bench we have a keeper, a centre back, two midfielders who usually play a defensive role, 2 attacking players who can't hit a barn door with a football and Kasey Palmer who has been average at best in recent games.

If we are playing a couple of wing backs it should hopefully see us be a bit more attacking this game.

Brilliant line up, just what the doctor ordered.

We'll smash 'em. 

Or I'll be in Frankie and Bennys 2nd half.

[Gritstone Ram]

8 - 1 - 1 also known as parking the bus.

[RadioactiveWaste]

I smell a dour 1-0.

if it's us who get it, you know how we're going to play the last three.

[Steve How Hard?]

Well we've got the change that was craved for, although doubt very much anybody would have gone down this route. Let's not write it off before it's begun though. Plenty of time for booing during and after the match. I like the fact that it will have thrown TPs game plan out the window.

[EnigmaRam]

Words fail me. We playing Barcelona at the nou camp and nobody told me!! ?

The thing is we probably do have the personal for it. Bring Anya in at RWB, shift Wisdom into the back, drop Fozzy  (or Olsson and play Fozzy at wing back) and swap Johnson for literally anybody else who can play midfield.

i would have preferred Palmer to start, he's a skillful player but needs pitch time, but yeah you have a valid point

[jimbo jones]

4231 with Keogh at DM and fozzy at centre half??

[Sith Happens]

God knows what formation that is. We will find out soon.

3-0 win today.

[Igorwasking]

Glad to see the change. Not sure on the personnel - but Rowett has to be applauded for changing it up a bit.

More interested in this afternoons game than I was thirty minutes ago!

boo now or 1 min after kick off?
